hey...i was gonna say that!!!!!!!

 

[spatts]

set the pins at about the same height and do pin presses.

 

[slobberknocker]

I agree with spatts. I've been doing those for a couple weeks and they're terrific for the tris.

floor presses too i guess

the boards will be much easier on your shoulder joint. personally id rather carry the boards to and fro

 

[NWinters]

have in mind the boards will be sort of like blocks instead, not no 6 foot board...lol

Boards are cheap and easy to put together. Just buy a 5' 2"x6" and have them cut it into one foot sections for you at the store.

Plus, the looks that you get in the gym are well worth the effort.

Why are they? It does not make since as to how those can have a different affect than pin presses.

i would think that the boards are more forgiving and give in a lil w/your chest. when you hit the pins...thats it...cant go no farther.
